FiveWord

iOS iPhone

FiveWord is a simple, but very challenging word game. You are presented with five random letters that make up a certain number of three, four and five letter words. All you need to do is drag the letter tiles up to the letter dock to spell a word. Then tap the check button to the left of the dock to see if the word is in the game’s dictionary. That is it! Well almost.

The game starts out with five letters that make 20 words - three, four and five letters long. You need to make at least five words within 60 seconds. If you can make five words in 60 seconds, you go to the next level and get all the points you just accumulated. If not, you do not get the points and you get one strike Don’t stop making words after five, because you get more points for each word you make. Longer words are worth more points.

The next level level displays five letters again, but this time they only make 19 words. You still need to make five words to go to the next level. If you do not make five words in 60 seconds, you get one strike. Three strikes in the game and it is all over!

This is not too difficult, yet. It becomes much more challenging to make five words when the five letters you get only make seven, six, or even five words!

When you complete the level that makes only five words, the hard part is about to start. The game now starts at a group of letters that make 20 words again, but this time one of the letters is hidden by a question mark. You have to make at least five words again without knowing what the mystery letter is.

If you make it down to five letters again, the game starts with 20 letters, but one of the letters displayed is wrong! Each time you make it up to five words, the game becomes increasingly difficult.

Good luck, and remember you only get three strikes for the entire game!
